Say that in a sing-songy voice. ’cause I am.
And ’cause I do.
Recycle.
And sing like a fool.
I thrifted this gorgeous skirt from eBay.
It’s very funny to me that I buy clothing that don’t fit me.
It’s because I have vision people.
I don’t see dead people.
I see revamping and repurposing and reincarnating.
It’s awesome.
It’s a gift.
Here is the before:
And now for the afters:
I have the tiniest amount left. So I’m gonna make a tote that matches that last stripey makeup bag.
My favorite detail is the braided strap that I made. I just love the look of it.
I’m definitely gonna do more of those straps in the future.
This bag doesn’t have interfacing. The first one I’ve done like that.
I wanted to keep the natural, slouchy shape of it.
The best part?
I already sold the large purse!
It sold on etsy in one day.
Which is awesome.
Though a smidge bittersweet.
I love that purse and had to really fight the temptation to keep it myself.
materials used:
satin skirt
olive twill
cotton
thread
magnetic snap
zipper

Not poopies yo.
Second time making the etsy frontpage!
Yay!
This momentous occasion happened a few days ago.
The fame is fleeting though folks.
So Mike grabbed me quite an awesome screenshot.

Since finding out we’re having another babe, we needed to get ourselves a bigger place.
2 kids in a one bedroom?
Erm, no.
We have been on the wait list for a 2 bedroom in our building for so long, it seemed like it would never happen.
But then, it did!
So moved in just before May 1st.
And prepared for a rather large and um, slightly uncomfortable rent increase.
Ugh.
But no matter, we are getting our money’s worth and we’re not totally on top of each other.
And lookie!
I have my own space now!
No more dining room table for me.
Which I’m sure Mike and Matty very much appreciate.
Now, while I don’t have my own room, I have my own corner and it’s lovely indeed.
Here it is after a day of production.
And here it is looking a wee bit neater:
AND I get my own walk in craft closet!
I’m such a lucky girl.
Now yeah, that picture is kinda boring, and not all fancy and color coordinated like other pro’s closets. But whatevs, I ain’t no Martha and it’s fine that everything is in shoe boxes and mis-matched baskets instead of darling canvas boxes in all the latest springtime colors. It is neat though. And I hope to keep it that way?
Check my Skechers box yo.
Okay and because I had some empty wall space in there and we have a million trillion pieces of Matty’s artwork, I got to spruce up the expanse of white. I love his stuff! Especially the scary green monster there in the left corner. So awesome!

And it’s only the beginning my patient friends.
I’ve been working here and there.
In between sonograms and OB appts.
Oh and a lovely, energetic 3 year old.
And a husband.
And daily chores.
And you know, sleep.
So anyways, I made some stuff.
Shoppe is being updated today and tomorrow.
Teaser!
That’s right, it’s actually a jewelry update! Yay!
It’s been a good long while.
But I cracked open my bead box and made some pretties.
More to come!
